Groundbreaking Cost-Neutral LED Spotlight Makes Green Technology Affordable

NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ICON International has developed a breakthrough LED lighting fixture that for the first time won’t cost any more than the ceramic metal halide it replaces. The fixture, Satellite 2120, is the result of two years of research and design by ICON’s expert team.

“It produces little heat and minimizes UV rays that accelerate ripening of produce and flowers. It won’t fade upholstery and precise color and light saturation can duplicate natural light, or change color hue.”

While the green energy benefits of LED lighting are well known, up until now LED lighting was priced significantly higher than other types of lighting. That is no longer the case with the introduction of ICON’s new Satellite 2120.

“Our team knew that we had to make the cost of the Satellite 2120 the same as its non-LED counterparts so commercial lighting customers could utilize this energy saving technology,” said Michael Goeller, ICON President. “Now, not is it affordable, there is also the added savings in maintenance, energy costs, and replacement bulbs.”

The ICON team also developed cutting edge LED technology. The Satellite 2120:

• Lasts at least seven times longer than ceramic metal halide (CMH) lights.
• Provides a 70% savings in energy use (Utilizes 21.4 watts as compared with the CMH 70 watt light).
• Has the same light intensity/ punch as the CMH 70 watt- unlike other LED lights.
• Is made from renewable materials providing minimal carbon footprint.
• Has a special convex lens for precise spotlighting that increase cut-off angles and eliminates glare.
• Is in the process of receiving Energy Star classification.
• Incorporates futuristic design aluminum fins that dissipate heat and maximize LED life.

Already ICON has launched the Satellite 2120 lighting system for a preferred Grocery customer and is currently working on a specialized system for the Boston Aquarium.

“The Satellite 2120 makes sense for any number of settings,” said Goeller, ICON President. “It produces little heat and minimizes UV rays that accelerate ripening of produce and flowers. It won’t fade upholstery and precise color and light saturation can duplicate natural light, or change color hue.”
